Chapter 6

It was getting pretty late now, and the new couple decided to head back to Konoha seeing as it was quite a long walk.

They had decided not to tell anyone about their relationship with eachother just yet, but they would break the news to their friends soon enough.

Besides it was unusual for Sakura to hang out with Lee so much all of a sudden, they were bound to notice something between the two.

Sakura smiled as she walked at Lee's side, smirking at him as he rambeled on about his training methods and whatnot.

But that was just how Lee was, he was a.. training-holic, if you'd like to put it that way..

"So my current record is 2000 laps around Konoha within a day," Lee said with a triumphant smile on his face.

"But I will beat my own record, if I can not then I will have to do 5000 pushups and continue trying." He said, now facing his girlfriend who stared at him for a moment before putting her hand on his shoulder, a gentle smile appeared on her face "That's great and all Lee, But you should wait untill your body has recovered." She didn't want Lee to hurt himself or anything and he really wasn't strong enough to do something like that yet..

"I won't, I would not want to see you hurt if there would happen anything to me, Sakura-chan.." He replied, looking at the ground for a moment.

It was hard for Lee to keep himself from training or doing anything too taxing for his body, but he knew he would pull trough as long as he had his beautiful cherry blossom by his side.. Sakura...

The pink haired girl smiled genuinely at him before taking his hand in hers as they walked, she noticed the increased redness on Lee's face and smirked at him.

"He looks cute when he's blushing..." She thought before almost running into a street light, She blushed in embarrassment after dodging it.

The couple walked for several minutes, receiving odd glances from the people they passed by on the street.

After all, it was a known fact that Sakura loved Sasuke Uchiha, not Rock Lee, but why was she holding his hand then?

Very strange indeed, well atleast for the villagers.

They managed to sneak back into Lee's room, and luckily there hadn't been a nurse to check up on him yet because they knew he was taking a 'walk' outside, even though he was rather late.

"I'll come visit you again tomorrow, Lee-kun" Sakura said after Lee positioned himself on the bed.

"Alright Sakura-chan, I'll see you tomorrow then, Goodnight." He smirked slightly but he was a tad bit sad because his love had to leave him now, but atleast she was coming back to see him the next day.

Lee's thoughts were disrupted when he felt a pair of soft lips on his own again, he was taken aback at first but grinned inwardly and returned the passionate kiss.

She pulled back after a few moments, planting another kiss on his forehead before leaving the room. "Sayonara, Lee-kun."

"..Sayonara.. Sakura-chan.." Lee mumbeled before falling back on the bed, a grin played across his face.

"This has been a very good day indeed" Lee thought, before drifting into a deep slumber.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to Sakura, who was now walking trough the deserted streets of Konoha on her way home.

She hummed a tune as she did, somewhat prancing trough her home village, not caring what anyone thought of her if they would see her acting like that.

The girl was happy she finally knew her true feelings, and had admitted them to the person she had them for.

She knew her feelings for Sasuke were fading ever since the Chuunin exams, but today she had been ready to admit she had given up on Sasuke and was able to give her heart to the one she thought she would never want to be with.

Rock Lee...

She frowned slightly as she thought back of the day she had met him, she had been so shallow and cold towards him, and shot him right down when he asked her on a date.

Sakura learned an important lesson after that.

"Don't judge a book on it's cover" She mumbeled, meaning don't judge someone on how they look, after all there could be a very loving and caring person behind that face.

Sakura smirked as she continued walking, but the girl didn't take note of where she was going and bumped into a certain blonde kunoichi.

"Ow.. Hey.. Forehead girl? Watch where you're going!" Ino hollered at Sakura as she got up, but soon a smile appeared on her rival's face as she held out her hand to help Sakura back on her feet.

"Oh.. Sorry Ino, I was lost in thought and didn't see you.." A blush out of embarrassment appeared on her her cheeks as she took Ino's hand and got back up.

"Hmn..? What about..?" Ino asked, a brow raised slightly as she looked at Sakura, there was something different about her..

"Ah.. Uhm.. Nothing.. Anyway what are you doing out this late?" She asked, starting to walk again and looking back to see if Ino followed.

She did, and she began talking immediatly "Oh you know.. I was out for a walk.. Can't stay within four walls when there's a night this beautiful!" She grinned and gazed up at the sky, admiring the stars above them.

Sakura did the same and started speaking again "Listen.. We don't have to be rivals anymore.." She said, receiving a confused look from Ino.

The two had been best friends before, untill they met Sasuke.

He was the cause of their rivalry, but Sakura figured that now she had given up on Sasuke, she could be friends with Ino again, right?

"What do you mean, Sakura?" Ino asked 'What the heck.. I knew something was different..' she thought, waiting for Sakura's answer.

"I've given up on Sasuke, I know it won't work out between us anyway.." Sakura said simply, turning to face her companion.

Ino's eyes widened in shock, Sakura? Giving up on Sasuke-kun? Impossible.. Or is it..?

"Huh..? Why did you give up on him? I thought you loved him, well obviously not as much as I do because I'm way better looking and.." Sakura sighed and shook her head, typically Ino rambling on like that.

She giggled softly at her friend's ranting, receiving a glare from said friend "Hey.. You're serious aren't you? What happened?"

Sakura shrugged slightly, she promised Lee they wouldn't tell anyone about their relationship yet but she didn't want to lie to Ino either.

"I just met someone who made me see how stupid I was.." She stated simply.

Ino gawked at her 'Unbelievable.. Is she serious! Well she must be.. she wouldn't lie about her feelings towards Sasuke that's for sure..'

"So.. What about it..? Want to give up on that stupid rivalry of ours and just be friends again?" Sakura inquired, looking at the girl by her side, who was utterly dumbfounded to say the least.

She blinked and snapped her fingers a few times infront of Ino's eyes, when this didn't help Sakura had no other choice than to do something inappropriate in order to get the girl's attention.

She wet her index finger, shoved away the strands of hair covering Ino's ear and stuck her wet finger in it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!"

Sakura smirked "You wouldn't listen.. So want to be friends again?" She asked again, tapping her foot slightly as she waited for Ino to answer.

"Uh.. Yeah.. I'd like that.." Ino said, she was happy to have made friends with Sakura again, but this also ment that Sakura took no interest in Sasuke anymore.

Thus meaning Ino had a better chance at getting him, Muahahahaaaa –coughs- Ahem.. Well anyway...

On with the story eh..?

Ino was still wondering why exactly Sakura had given up on Sasuke all of a sudden, there had to be someone who made her think twice about her feelings for Sasuke.

Apparently this person had managed to swipe away all of the bubblegum haired girl's feelings for the Uchiha.

"Say.. Uhm.. Sakura.. What exactly happened..? I mean a few weeks ago you wouldn't give up Sasuke for the world.." Ino raised a brow as she tried to get her friend to tell her..

"Like I said.. I met someone.." This answer wasn't what Ino was looking for, and a vein pulsated slightly on her forehead.

"Who is that someone and what has he done to the Sakura I know?" She asked, somewhat aggitated now.

"Gomen, Ino-chan, You'll find out soon enough" Sakura said simply, causing the vein on Ino's forehead to pulsate more violently now.

Said girl was about to speak again, she opened her mouth but was stopped by Sakura "I'll have to leave you now, Ino, My house is to the right here.." She said, Sakura was somewhat happy that she was able to get away from Ino before she forced out her secret, she didn't want that to happen..

Ino sweatdropped and smiled faintly "Ah.. Sayonara Sakura, Goodnight." She was kind of disappointed though, not being able to find out what Sakura tried to hide so badly.

'Oh well.. She'll spill it out soon enough..' She thought, turning to head to her own house.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Phew, that was a close call..' She thought with a sigh as she plopped down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling.

"Today was.. very extraordinary.." She mumbeled, sleep was starting to overtake the small girl now, and she hadn't even taken the time to dress in her pyjama's.

She smiled before letting out a yawn before drifting off in what seemed to be the best sleep Sakura had had in weeks..

A/N:

Gomen.. I've spent all week trying to think of a good chapter for this story..

Also I've had quite a few ideas pop in my head which I'll probably be writing Fics on later on..

The second reason of why this update is so late, is because I've been occupied by our move, we've sold our own house this week and we're getting the key to our new house in September.

Yes, I'm moving within two months.. I'm very happy about it, because I get my own room and more privacy, so I can focus on writing much better..

I mostly write when I'm alone, because I hate it when someone's looking at my writing over my shoulder.. –shudders at the thought of it- Ugh..

Well anyway, I'm going to try and make some more chaps for this story.. But don't be suprised if you see me writing several fics at the same time, cause I really want to write about the other ideas I had.. xD And yes.. They're SakuLee fanfic ideas.. ;)

I noticed that there's a decreasing amount of hits per chapter, I guess this means people don't like my story that much.. Oh well.. I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed so far again, Every single review makes me feel like what I'm doing is appreciated by others, and this is what keeps me going..
